About This Item
Nimbus Publishing , 2006. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good . 10x0x8. The Queen Charlotte Islands, or Haida Gwaii as it is known locally, is remotely situated off the west coast of British Columbia. Considered âThe Galapagos of the Northâ for its many distinct sub-species of plants and animals, the southern 1/3 of the Islands are contained within the Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Protected Site, named the best National Park in North America in 2005. George Fischer has assembled photos from all of the Islandsâ areas to capture the landscape, feeling and community there, from geographic landforms such as Balance Rock and Tow Hill to local faces and cultural attractions like the Qayâllnagaay Heritage Centre, St. Maryâs Spring, even a Haida potlatch ceremony. One of Canadaâs most renowned and prolific landscape photographers, George Fischer has published more than 60 books and 50 art posters from sites around the world. His work has also appeared on the covers of numerous international magazines and newspapers, and in the promotional publications of tourism agencies around the world.
